Windows 10 installs as Home on an 8.1 Pro machine. How to fix?????
My laptop was running 8.1 Pro. Did all the normal stuff to reserve 10, etc. It showed up in Windows Updates on the 29th, so I installed it. Installation went fine, except Windows 10 came up as the Home edition, not Pro!!!!!!
Any idea if I can fix it?
I talked to someone at Microsoft, and they told me that "Pro would eventually show up as an update." Unfortunately, I don't believe them.
This machine had originally been Windows 8 Home, but I upgraded it to Pro, then 8.1, so maybe that was part of the problem.
I have an MSDN account, and I tried using an installation disk from there but they only offer "Multiple Edition" disks that apparently auto-detect the running edition and only allow installing that same edition again.
Kinda frustrating....
BTW, I also saw that a "Pro Pack" will be available at some point for 99 bucks, but even that isn't apparently available yet.
